The finale to

Strangely Familiar coverage:
The Message Table. This one's my favorite.
When a message is left, a box representing that message slowly rises from the desk. The higher it rises, the longer the message. So when you return home, you know how many messages are waiting for you. To hear one, open the box's lid. Pushing that box back down into the desk deletes the message.

I like these tables/desks that have stuff built into them. You can sit down to them, observe them, give them an audience. It'd be nice to collect this one with Dunne+Raby's Compass Table and that GPS-sensitive one that displays a tiny satellite image depending on where you roll it to. What was that called?
